Chapter 682: United Confrontation
The news that Mu Yue will succeed as Hokage spread rapidly not only in Konoha and the Land of Fire, but also to surrounding countries.
The five major ninja villages basically have some intelligence forces in various parts of the ninja world, so when the news came out, the other four major ninja villages all received the information from the intelligence ninjas.
The country of earth, the village of Hidden Rock.
"The Hokage election was completed so quickly. No wonder Konoha has not taken any action. It turned out to be this plan." Ohnoki understood something after reading the information.
The news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was defeated by Soyousuke spread throughout the ninja world in a short time, and Iwagakure played a lot of role in it.
For Iwagakure now, Konoha is a big trouble and the Ninja Sect is a small trouble. It would be the best thing to fight these two troubles by yourself.
Unfortunately, things backfired, and there was no response from Konoha at all, even though the news was already loudly reported by the people of Konoha.
"Although it can eliminate the impact to a certain extent, the price is too high. Did this battle cause Sarutobi Hiruzen to suffer serious injuries that are difficult to heal?" Onoki fell into thinking.
Allowing Mu Yue, who is currently the most powerful, to succeed Hokage is indeed a good move, but this is for Konoha as a whole.
For Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, this decision was a huge loss. He lost his power as Hokage and gave people the impression of taking the blame and resigning.
If it were Ohnoki, he would most likely choose to play dead, do nothing, not respond or pass the ball.
Ohnoki thought for a while, then carefully looked through the intelligence collected by the ninjas, trying to analyze new content.
He really wanted to know the details of the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Soyousuke, but since there were not many people accompanying them, and they were all elites of their respective forces, there were no spies.
Even though Onoki asked the intelligence department to collect relevant information, they only got some fragmentary information from Liudou Castle.
As for Konoha, probably because they were the losing side, they gave a death order to keep it secret. Iwagakure didn't find out any relevant information from Konoha.
"There is still too little information to judge." Ohnoki shook his head and sighed.
"Konoha probably has no idea of taking action with the Ninja Sect. Is there any other force that can be used..."
Ohnoki thought for a while and took out the map of the Ninja World. In the Country of Grass and The Kingdom of Wind each makes a mark.
The Kingdom of Rain borders six countries in total, three of which are large countries and three are small countries.
The three major kingdoms are the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Earth.
The three small countries are the country of birds, the country of grass, and the country of rivers.
Among them, the Kingdom of Tori and the Country of Kawa are small countries without ninja villages, and the Kingdom of Tori has already had a branch of the Ninja Sect. In Ohnoki's heart, it has been defaulted to the Ninja Sect's sphere of influence.
There is no doubt that the Ninja Sect is a very ambitious organization.
If Iwagakure had not been keeping an eye on the Ninja Sect, I am afraid that the Ninja Sect had completed the integration of the ninja power of the Land of Rain, bringing the ninja power of the Land of Rain to its highest peak in history.
In the eyes of people who don’t know better, the Rain Ninja Village and the Ninja Sect are two different forces.
But Onoki knew that after Hanzo's death, Soyousuke would belong to the Rain Ninja Village, even if the apparent leader of the Rain Ninjas was not Soyousuke.
Even though the integration of domestic forces has been completed, but they still act like two forces, there must be some conspiracy.
Onoki estimates that the Ninja Sect may attack Kawa no Kuni in the near future.
The situation in the Kingdom of Kawa is similar to that of the Kingdom of Birds. There is no ninja village but there are some ninja clans. However, the power of ninjas in the Kingdom of Kawa is much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Birds.
Onoki didn't want to see the Ninja Sect continue to grow.
When the Ninja clan was causing trouble in the Kingdom of Birds, Iwakakure was at a critical moment of the war, and Onoki had no time to take care of it. Now that the war is over, how could he continue to watch the Ninja clan grow in strength.
At this time, the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Wind, which are also bordering the Kingdom of Rain, have become natural allies of the Kingdom of Earth.
The Ninja Sect becoming the sixth largest ninja force will not only grab Iwagakure's cake, Sunagakure will also be affected.
As for the Grass Ninja Village, there is one more super brother around, and it is almost surrounded.
Onoki here wants to use Sunagakure to deal with the Ninja Sect, and Rasa on the other side is also thinking about similar things.
"This ninja sect must be difficult to deal with, otherwise how could Sarutobi Hiruzen keep pretending to be dead, and also pass the throne directly to Hanyu Mozuki." Luo Sha thought as he put down the information.
The news of Hiruzen Sarutobi's defeat spread quickly throughout the ninja world, and Sunagakure Village also had a share of the credit.
Luo Sha himself was almost beaten to death by Mu Yue. Of course he was extremely unhappy with Konoha. If he couldn't defeat him, Luo Sha would have wanted to send troops to attack Konoha itself immediately.
So after learning about the negative news about Konoha, Rasa Na tried his best to help spread the news, and was very worried that there were ninjas who didn't know about Konoha's shocking scandal.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have asked the intelligence ninja to help spread the news, but it would have helped Hanyu Muyue." Thinking of this, Luo Sha couldn't help but darken her face.
Normally, Mu Yue should not succeed as Hokage so soon.
Obviously because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's accident, Mu Yue had the opportunity to succeed in advance.
This made Rasa very unhappy. He felt that his operation did not cause much trouble in Konoha, but he helped his enemy get promoted and directly reached the pinnacle of power in the ninja world.
In order to become the Kazekage, he did not know how much effort he spent. He had to stabilize his internal situation and fight off foreign enemies before he could secure the Kazekage position. However, Muyue was carried directly to the Hokage lying down. .
This is how Luo Sha can be in a good mood.
"Konoha can't agitate, so we can only try Iwagakure, and we must destroy the cooperation between Iwagakure and Ninja Sect."
Luo Sha collected her emotions and didn't think about Mu anymore. Yue's matter is to think about how to curb the development of Ninja Sect. After all, he is a shadow and cannot bring too many personal emotions into his work.
Revenge against Mu Yue is unrealistic, and preventing the Ninja Sect from growing stronger is the top priority.
Theoretically speaking, it is very easy for a big ninja village like Sunagakure to establish a ninja force from a small country.
But everyone in Konoha showed this attitude, which made Rasa dare not underestimate the Ninja Sect.
It is impossible to go to one village, at least Iwagakure Village must be brought together.
Rasa is confident enough to turn Iwagakure and the Ninja Sect against each other.
There is no eternal friendship between ninja villages, only eternal interests.
Rasha did not believe that Iwagakure would be willing to have some of his interests taken away by the rising Ninja sect.
Then Luo Sha remembered something, called his confidant and asked:
"Does Ye Cang have some connection with Ninja Sect?"
" It seems that she has, she has taken some ninjas to Liudou Castle twice to listen to Soyousuke's lectures, and she seems to have consulted with Soyousuke on ninjutsu," the Sunagakure jounin replied after thinking for a while.
Luo Sha's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Collect some relevant information and closely monitor Ye Cang's actions."
Luo Sha really bothered Ye Cang.
He was a noble Kazekage, but in the end he only made a slight mistake in decision-making. Ye Cang rebuked him mercilessly and publicly without giving him any face.
If he hadn't personally gone into battle to replace Ye Cang, Ye Cang would have definitely died on the battlefield. He used Magnetic Release to create a double layer of protection, and was almost sent away by Mu Yue's punch. Ye Cang's Burning Release did not have such defensive capabilities.
Although his idea of removing Ye Cang was not to save Ye Cang, in fact it was the case, and in the end Ye Cang even reprimanded him.
Just in time to deal with the Ninja Sect, he can easily deal with Ye Cang together. Anyway, Ye Cang cannot be used by him, and keeping him is also a hidden danger.
……
The Country of Thunder, Yunyin Village.
"How powerful is Soyousuke? He actually forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to do this." The Third Raikage became very interested in Soyousuke after reading the information.
Originally, he was not interested in the Ninja Sect. Firstly, the Rain Country where the Ninja Sect was located was far away from the Kingdom of Thunder. Secondly, there were too few ninjas in the Ninja Sect. To the Third Raikage, it seemed like they were just fighting against each other. Noisy.
So when the Ninja Sect held a youth martial arts meeting in the Land of Rain, the Third Raikage did not send ninjas to participate.
Now the Third Raikage realized that he might have underestimated the leader of the ninja sect known as the ninja master.
Take the Third Raikage himself as an example. In a one-on-one situation, he was not absolutely sure of defeating Hiruzen Sarutobi, let alone beating Hiruzen Sarutobi to the point where he no longer wanted to be the Hokage.
"It's hard to say, maybe Soyousuke may be the strongest person in the ninja world today." Dodai analyzed.
"Soyousuke has never had a defeat since his appearance. No matter whether his opponent is a famous master like Kakuzu or a legendary ninja like Hanzo, he has not been put into a difficult battle. His true strength is a Unknown. "
After the news of Soyousuke's defeat of Sarutobi Hiruzen spread throughout the ninja world, Soyousuke's reputation reached a new peak.
At first, most people doubted that this was a rumor, and even the intelligence ninjas from the major ninja villages thought so.
But when Konoha kept silent instead of responding, their minds changed.
Sometimes not answering is also an answer.
If the rumors were true, how could Konoha remain indifferent? After all, the Hokage's reputation was at stake.
"Created the Ninja Sect and inherited the Six Paths. Is he really the orthodox inheritor of the Six Paths Sage Ninja Sect?" The Third Raikage showed a thoughtful expression.
In the eyes of many ninjas, Sage of Six Paths is just a legendary mythical figure.
But the Third Raikage knows that Rokudo Sage is the real ancestor of ninjas, not a fictional mythical character, because there are descendants of Rokudo Sage in the Cloud Hidden Village, and they still hold the name of Rokudo Sage. Ninja tool.
The Third Raikage knew how powerful the Six Paths Ninjas were. The descendants of the Six Paths Sage used the Six Paths Ninja Tools to stage a coup, and even the Second Raikage was killed by them.
The ninja tools left by the Sage of Six Paths alone are so powerful. If the inheritance of the Six Paths in Sosuke's hand is the ninjutsu of the Sage of the Six Paths, how powerful would it be? It was unimaginable for the Third Raikage.
But there are too many doubts about this.
Since there are orthodox inheritors of the Ninja Sect, why did no one like Sosuke stand up to restore the Ninja Sect during the thousands of years of its demise?
The Ninja Sect has really disappeared for too long. Some ninjas think that the Ninja Sect is a new force created by Soyousuke. They don't know that the Ninja Sect was founded by the Six Paths Sage in ancient times.
Even though the Ninja sect founded by Rokudo Sage is the origin of ninja.
However, the Third Raikage thought it was normal. According to records in ancient books, ancient ninjas and modern ninjas were not the same thing at all.
The ancient ninjas do not need to accept entrusted tasks. Their duty is to maintain world peace and create a world where there is no war and everyone can coexist peacefully.
As for modern ninjas, war is almost one of their important sources of funds, and war commission fees are the most expensive.
……
The Kingdom of Water, Kirigakure Village.
Mizukage Office.
"Yakura, what do you think our Kirigakure should do in the current situation." The third Mizukage sat on the office chair, put down the information and asked Goju Yagura with a smile.
"Do nothing?" Gouju Yagura replied uncertainly.
"It seems that you gained something from the last defeat." The Third Mizukage nodded slightly.
If it were the previous Goju Yagura, he might want to take this opportunity to cause trouble with other ninja villages and weaken the strongest Konoha.
“We have seriously offended Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure during the Third Ninja War.”
“They need Kirigakure’s power, but this does not mean that they will forgive us. behavior in the past, so we cannot immediately join forces with them to deal with Konoha. Even if we succeed in the end, Kirigakure will not have a good result.”
"At the same time, we can't really help Konoha greatly, because Konoha's development momentum is too good. Konoha can be strong, but it cannot be too strong."
The third generation Mizukage knows the alliance of the ninja village well. The relationship is unreliable. Today he can sell Futu Lei because of profit, and tomorrow Konoha can also take action against Kirigakure because of profit.
If Konoha can really be as strong as one against four, then does Konoha still need Kirigakure as an ally?
Obviously not necessary, if one person can take it all to himself, why would anyone come to take a share of the pie?
Goju Yagura nodded thoughtfully.
He had thought of this, but not as much as the Third Mizukage thought.
"Of course you don't have to help, you can do it superficially. I have asked someone to contact Konoha, and you will be the envoy to watch the ceremony with Konoha." The third Mizukage said.
Konoha and Kirigakure are still in the honeymoon stage, so it would be too obvious to say anything.
"Okay." Goji Yagura agreed directly without asking.
Gotachibana Yagura has already looked away from the matter of losing to Mu Yue. After all, the Fourth Kazekage was almost beaten to death by Mu Yue with one punch, and Mu Yue used more than one punch to deal with him. , in this way he is stronger than the Fourth Kazekage.
"Isn't the Ninja Sect also taking action? Soyousuke alone is of great value, right?" Gotachibana Yagura asked curiously.
If the Ninja Sect can be successfully deployed, it might be possible to leverage a certain great Ninja village.
"Look, the Ninja Sect will be in trouble soon, and may become the center of the whirlpool." The Third Mizukage shook his head.
The news of Sarutobi Hiruzen's defeat brought Soyousuke and the Ninja Sect to the forefront. It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for the Ninja Sect.
Although the five major ninja villages often attack each other, if there is a force that really tries to attack their status, they may give priority to suppressing that force.
Just like the original Rain Ninja Village.
No matter how many fights between the five major ninja villages, the overall pattern of the ninja world is ultimately dominated by the five major ninja villages, which has not changed since the era of the ninja villages.
If the six major ninja forces dominate the ninja world, not just one family will lose.
The Third Mizukage felt that no great ninja village would want such a drastic change in the structure of the ninja world.
